Well, I don't resell tickets, and I don't recline my seat on a plane, even though I am 8 feet tall. But I am keeping the Capp Dogg in a box. So that has to be worse.
Really? You want to go there? Again? Are you just a masochist? (Hey Dave, did I spell that right?)
I truthfully do.
A lot of people here think I'm an asshole and that sucks.
I'm not.
Have I made some stupid posts? Yes. Am I different than some people? Definitely. But I'm nothing like what people think I am and if there is a chance to turn that a around, I'd like to.

Good luck. But with your combative style of posting, this is going to be a hard sell. (like how I worked in selling there?)
Do you know someone personally from the board that can vouch for you in real life? It helps when you have met and get to know someone outside this board. I thought @eviltim102 was a douche at first, then I met him, and now I think he is a great guy.
Yes a few. Should I name them? I've been sensitive not to because I don't want to associate myself with someone who'd rather not have to deal with the backlash because of how in viewed

Ask them in a PM. If they say no, well, that's pretty telling there. Even my friends that have seen me consume BuzzBallz will vouch for me. I think. Maybe not.
If you're going to be an ass, might as well own it. Good for you.
Right. Because reclining a seat that was designed for reclining makes someone an ass. You must not have many friends with such a high threshold for "appropriate" behavior.
In the immortal words of That 1 Guy, "Just because you can, it doesn't mean that you should."

It's beyond that. The plane was specifically designed with chairs that recline for the very purpose of allowing people to recline.
This isn't a matter of "well, I CAN scalp tickets and take advantage of an inefficient free market, so I will." Tickets aren't meant to be scalped. Most of them even include a disclaimer about that.

I agree. Scalping is absolutely deplorable. I'm glad I don't know anyone who would partake in such behavior.

There is no federal law against scalping. It's only illegal in 15 states, with the majority of those only enforcing it within 200 feet of the venue.

It's about being considerate to the person behind you....not doing it just because you can. If there is room then feel free to recline. If you have a 6'8" dude behind you with little leg room then maybe just keep the seat as it is. They don't recline that far anyway. I agree with the "just because you can, doesn't mean that you should" line of reasoning here. If I'm in a crowded car I could technically lean the chair back because it was designed for that purpose but if it's making things uncomfortable for someone else then I would maybe avoid doing that.

Of course if I had someone the size of Lebron James sitting behind me I wouldn't recline. It would probably be physically impossible to anyway.

Because our airplane personal bubble grows smaller by the minute, it's really an inconvenience to just about anyone (and a literal pain to tall folks). I've almost been bonked in the face before while retrieving things from under the seat when the person in front of me reclined. I've also noticed some people recline during meal service, what's up with that?

Yeah, I'm only 5'4", and I totally find it rude. To me, it says, "my comfort is more important than yours." Even if you don't personally believe that it's making the person behind you uncomfortable, that 41% statistic says there's a really strong chance that that person disagrees with you.
Until you're 6'3" and you find yourself on a trans-Pacific flight behind some dick who reclines fully the minute he sits down - and then comes up with a feeble excuse like "well, I paid for this seat fair and square, so I really don't care if I crush your kneecaps for the next 14 hours. The flight attendant said I could!" when politely asked not to - you will never fully understand the utter contempt I hold for such people. Dante has a special circle of Hell reserved for your type, asshole!
It's bad enough for me, but about 10 years ago someone did this to my dad and it triggered excruciating sciatic pain for months afterward, to the point that he needed surgery to realign a dislodged vertebrae. All because you thought your right to nap was more important. FEEL MY WRATH!

I wonder if you can sue the airline for something like that.

Over 41% of voters chose Mitt Romney. I could care less if that many people disagree with me.

Congratulations, that response was so ridiculously asinine, I can't quite figure out how best to respond to it.
If you're totally fine with making yourself comfortable at the expense of others, that's just your choice, I guess.
